Also now had the same problem occur with the older RPM:
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.15-17.20091105gite1c2ef

Also, the fullscreen app (mplayer) was not running when it occurred.

Had the same messages for dmesg, /var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.0.log as before.
(except no cursor hide/unhide messages)

This time I also got the extra shutdown message (after trying to logout)
dmesg:
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: nouveau_channel_free: freeing fifo 2
/var/log/messages:
Jul 30 12:34:08 ... kernel: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: nouveau_channel_free: freeing fifo 2

However, I have found another problem with my system that may have something to do with the nouveau bug presenting itself.
My USB mouse is possibly failing and switches on and off sometimes ... easy for me to see while dragging windows around, because it sometimes lets go of a window but I haven't released the left mouse button
(I only realised what was going on after my previous comments)
